Best settings for Megan Racing Coilovers for Stock-like feel?

What is the best combination for stock-like feel on the Megan Racing coilovers for a FD? The car is lowered ~1.75 inches all around

Mine is set at:

18 Front, 27 Rear

I haven't had the time to test all combinations

Usually you'll want to run the front a little stiffer than the rear.

Yeah, I have the front set a bit stiffer than rear. Softest setting is 32 and stiffest is 1

Are you sure? That's odd. Most of the dampers I've seen go the other way. Anyway, just play with the settings and find some which feel good to you. I would start soft, and then start hardening it up for your liking (keeping the rears 2-3 clicks softer than the front). Unless you can find someone running those coilovers, settings won't transfer over from different damper manufacturers so it will be hard for others to give you direct advice.

Also, I'd be interested to hear if you notice any difference between it being set at say 17 and then 18. I've read (not experienced) that some of the more inexpensive coilovers have damper settings which don't really do much. i.e. while they may have 20 point settings, the actual damper adjustments only really have an effect at about 5-6 of the points (so 1-4 would react the same, 5-9 would react the same, etc).
